# [[Broiled Broccoli with Spicy, Sesame-Scallion Sizzle]] **Prep Time:** 8 minutes **Cook Time:** 15 minutes **Yield:** Serves 2–4 as a side dish ## Ingredients ### For the sizzle: - 1 Tbsp (15 ml) sesame oil - 1 Tbsp (15 ml) coconut oil - 1 Tbsp (15 ml) sambal oelek or Sriracha - 1 Tbsp (15 ml) soy sauce - 1 Tbsp (15 g) sesame seeds - 4 scallions, thinly sliced ### For the broccoli: - 1¼ lb (567 g) broccoli - 1 Tbsp (15 ml) neutral oil (grapeseed or canola) - Kosher salt, to taste - Flaky sea salt (Maldon), for finishing (optional) ## Instructions 1. Heat the broiler to high for at least 15 minutes. Line a rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil. 2. In a small skillet over low heat, combine sesame oil, coconut oil, sambal oelek (or Sriracha), soy sauce, sesame seeds, and scallions. Let oils infuse slowly. 3. Meanwhile, cut broccoli into spears (halving or quartering larger pieces). Toss on the prepared pan with neutral oil and a generous pinch of kosher salt. 4. Broil for 2 minutes. Check for charring; if none, broil another minute. Once edges char, flip spears and broil 2–3 more minutes (5–7 min total), until charred to your liking. 5. Transfer broccoli to a serving platter. 6. Turn heat on the skillet to medium–high; when oil bubbles and scallions sizzle, remove from heat and pour over broccoli. 7. Gently toss, taste, and finish with flaky sea salt if desired. Serve immediately.
